This is the battle of Morannon brought to life as described by J.R.R Tolkien himself. The assault on the Black Gate is a great diversion from the Lords of the West, hoping that the ringbearer will fulfill his quest. Will the West go under in a great fire, or will they rally and forever destroy Sauron? This video attempts to portray Tolkien’s vision of the last desperate move from the West.

I feel offended by Sam being called "servant" of Frodo. He is the Bearer of the Ring Bearer.

@LoreOfTheRingsYT 4 года назад

Sam gladly took this title himself. Frodo was considered the greatest creature in Sam's life. Sam loved him as a friend. He had no cares for honor or glory, which is shown when he utterly rejects the quest, and looks for Frodo in Cirith Ungol.

@Gwildor2020 4 года назад

They don't use the term in the film at all. The closet you get is Sam calling him Mr. Frodo. I believe in the books he calls him Master Frodo at some points. It is out of respect. Their relationship is that of a British Officer of the early 20th Century and their batman, or orderly.

@Dimitrije_Sukovic 4 года назад

@@Gwildor2020 I believe referring to one as "master" is an archaic equivalent of calling someone a "mister." Like you said, it's out of respect, like emphasising someone as a gentleman.

@SomethingLegit1 4 года назад

Funnily enough, this pet peeve is what makes Sam and his story so amazingly good. All Sam ever wanted was to be Frodo's servant, and if he was anything else, he would have perished to the ruin of all. When Sam takes the ring from Frodo's supposed dead body, he is given visions of greatness and grandeur, in an attempt by the ring to tempt him. It is due to Sam's simple nature that he doesn't heed those temptations, never seeking heroism or grandeur (in *direct* contrast to his movie fantasy of "Samwise the Brave"), but being content as Frodo's servant. This is the same temptation that Gandalf and Galadriel do not dare to even try to face. Therein lies Sam's strongest point. That is why he did end up saving the world - because of his simple nature. Sam essentially stood firm where any strong ally could not have. Tolkien was a brilliant author.

@LoreOfTheRingsYT 4 года назад

@@SomethingLegit1 Sauron neglected what Gandalf saw. I agree wholeheartedly, Sam was simple and he wished naught for anything else. He was content, what more can one ask? The One Ring had especially the Power to dominate powerful beings, and that's why Sam was almost unaffected by the Ring, for he was not powerful.

During the last alliance the forces of the west spent years besieging the black gate. They were likely well supplied and had sufficient siege engines for the task. Aragorn’s rag tag group had just been through a battle and had made a forced march through enemy territory while being harassed by the enemy. They had no lines of supply, no siege engines to take the gate and had not fortified their positions. Bad leadership

@@jeffhreid Good leadership. The other leaders conferred with Aragorn, who was looked on as the top leader of humans, and he was counseled by the wisest present, Gandalf. They chose to sacrifice themselves, to draw the attention of Sauron, in order to assist the Ringbearer in his mission. Placing the overall good of Middle-Earth ahead of their own well-being was an act of wisdom and courage that should be lauded. This very point was not only made in the book, but by Tolkien in various letters after he published the novel.

@romandacil3984 4 года назад

Love the video. Good detail and followed that part of the story from the book pretty faithfully. Always wondered if forces x10's and more than x10's their match meant that one force had 60,000 and the other force 70-90,000 men/orcs for a total of at least 130,000-150,000 or if it was 6,000 (Men of West) x 10 x10 = 600,000 men/orcs which seems like quite a bit of overkill. The wording is ambiguous but I estimate that there were 150,000 men, orcs and trolls attacking the men of the west. Hated that Peter Jackson made the Gondorians look like the Red shirted Security guys on a Star Trek landing party.

@LoreOfTheRingsYT 4 года назад

I also hated that Peter Jackson underrated the Gondorians, but it was simply to make Mordor seem a larger threat at the siege of Minas Tirith. I really missed the Swan Knights of Dol Amroth tho. That was a bummer :/ The Lords of the West had approximately 6 000 soldiers, so Mordor had at least 60 000, but probably much more. Remember that Denethor told us that only 1 finger of Mordor had yet been stretched. There were at least 15 000 Haradrim at the siege of Minas Tirith, so the total forces must have estimated to at least 40 000 I think. That makes your assumption pretty reasonable to me! BTW cool name, is it a reference to Romendacil?

@romandacil3984 4 года назад

@@LoreOfTheRingsYT Yep Romandacil was the assumed name of the 8th and 19th Kings of Gondor meaning East Victor. I spent 9 years in the Far East so use the moniker. I would rather have seen the Knights of Dol Amroth at the siege of Minas Tirith as well instead of the Army of the Dead but it was more for pacing reasons and not having to introduce a new character. Just like Beregond and the Woses were left out. I estimate that Mordor had 20,000 gathered in East Osgiliath, another 20,000 from Minas Morgul and 18,000 Haradrim. While another host of 40,000 assailed Cair Andros and entered Anorien. The Battle at the Black Gate had the Host of Gorgoroth plus the Host of Nurn with an army of Easterlings so the 130-150,000 sound about right.

@onetwothreefourfive12345 4 года назад

I recently asked this question elsewhere, but I didn’t get a satisfactory answer so I thought I’d try here: How did Aragorn manage to convince thousands of Gondor and Rohan’s soldiers to march blindly in to their deaths. It’s not like they were aware of Frodo and Sam.

@LoreOfTheRingsYT 4 года назад

This passing can grant us some wisdom: "Yet suddenly for Faramir his heart was strangely moved with a feeling that he had not known before. Here was one with an air of high nobility such as Aragorn at times revealed, less high perhaps, yet also less incalculable and remote: one of the Kings of Men born into a later time, but touched with the wisdom and sadness of the Elder Race. He knew now why Beregond spoke his name with love. He was a captain that men would follow, that he would follow, even under the shadow of the black wings" Faramir was probably the greatest mortal man at the end of the third age, surpassed only by Aragorn. Aragorn had rescued Gondor in its dire need, and even healed many of its citizens. People had great respect for him, and would do the same as they did for Faramir. The Rohirrim had already followed their King to the Siege of Gondor, which was the same situation. They were loyal to their King. You also must remember Gandalf and his inspiration. This was his task, to inspire the forces of the free peoples to oppose Sauron. He also wore Narya which enhanced this ability. I hope this was a satisfactory answer, and if not, tell me what you find missing!

@onetwothreefourfive12345 4 года назад

Lore of Middle-Earth definitely satisfactory haha. Thanks for explaining that it definitely makes much more sense now. And thanks for the great vid

@SantomPh 4 года назад

Aragorn had inspired all by bearing the banner of Elendil. The king of Rohan, Eomer was ready to follow Aragorn and the Rohirrim were already ready to die in any case. Important Gondorian figures such as Prince Imrahil and Faramir supported Aragorn after meeting him-Imrahil was technically the leader of Gondor as per Aragorn's request, so his knights and the armies were at his command. Aragorn allowed any men to stay behind at the crossroads of the fallen king as well as to fight for Cair Andros, leaving only 7000 at the Black Gate. Aragorn had this aura that inflamed men's passions, an echo of Elendil and the men of the lost West that people followed him or became his allies apart from the most wicked or twisted.

@paulguest3674 4 года назад

@@SantomPh I love how he allowed men to stay behind, ones from Rohan or Southern Gondor who hadn't witnessed the pure evil of Mordor and Sauron as intensively as others, but he did it by allowing them to keep their honour and pride by giving them tasks, tangible and credible tasks like re-taking Cair Andros. It's an often overlooked part of the book and the telling but I think it's very important to allow the reader to understand what kind of King he'd be and what kind of people he would lead.

@SantomPh 4 года назад

@@paulguest3674 this action has also taken care of the army the Rohirrim had to avoid earlier in Anorien, so it is a win win situation. Aragorn would know how the young men of Rohan and Gondor felt, as he had also travelled this way at their age, and unlike them had to face his fears and literally cross into Mordor and the Harad , alone.

Good sir, I just discovered you and this channel. I'm absolutely speechless. You captured all the lore and knowledge from the books and combined it with the excitement and drama of the movies. My Dad would read the books to me as a bedtime story when I was little and I of course developed a fierce love for ANYTHING related to Middle-Earth. I've lost count of how many times I've read the books or watched the movies. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you've put into this. Subscribed and telling all my buddies about it. That being said, I'm a selfish bastard... I want to hear about Nirnaeth Arnoediad... The Battle of Unnumbered Tears! Just a thought. No pressure. ;) Hurin Thalion is the most awesome character in the Tolkien universe. Thank you again!

@LoreOfTheRingsYT 4 года назад

Thanks for such a lovely comment! Don't worry, the First Age will come eventually, but I want to develop some real skill before undertaking those battles. They need to be treated with respect!

@calchambers605 4 года назад

Well I'll be looking forward to it! You're doing freakin' awesome, keep up the good work! I think you already have the skill, it's just the Silmarillion is a convoluted mix of short stories so I imagine it would be a nightmare from a narrative perspective. It's just... that last stand by Hurin and his men.... It has Thermopylae/The Alamo written all over it.

@ratemal7748 4 года назад

There are two things i don't understand about this: 1. Where did Sauron get all those new troops after he lost almost his entire army on Pelennor fields? 2. Why did he take the bait even though he knew about the hobbits? He should have figured out that Aragorn doesn't have the ring after all, and he could clearly see that his army had no hope of breaching the black gate, so why not just scour Mordor looking for the hobbits, while a garrison held the black gate? He should have more than enough troops for that.

@whiteknightcat 4 года назад

Despite the size of the massive force sent against Gondor, it was but a portion of the full military might pent up in the Black Land, waiting to be unleashed. Sauron did NOT know the Hobbits had the ring. Recall that Sam took it from Frodo after Shelob stung him, so it was never found when Frodo was stripped after he was found and taken to Cirith Ungol.

@SantomPh 4 года назад

Sauron didn't lose his army on the Pelennor Fields, just the first wave. The army at the Black Gate was just as big as the last one. He had enough forces to attack Lothlorien, Mirkwood and Erebor/Dale as well as calling up the Corsairs, whom Aragorn intercepted with the Dead. Sauron didn't really know the hobbits had the one ring, just that they were spying in Mordor and lost their things. Aragorn does his best to threaten Sauron and make him think he has the Ring,by challenging him in the Palantir and announcing himself as king. Sauron has always hated the line of Isildur, so his attention is focused on Aragorn and Gandalf now. He was already intrigued by Pippin's use of the Palantir, realizing someone is using Halflings against him for some reason or other. Sauron however is extremely arrogant and feels Aragorn is the one who has taken the ring. Hence he ignores the Hobbit threat in his realm.

@MrSnapy1 4 года назад

Love this channel the quality and originality is off the charts his hard work is much appreciated. As for this battle I always felt Mordor used stupid tactics. They leave a huge defensive gate and fight in the open we all know how it ends and nothing would have worked for this battle was just a distraction. Mordor did not know this and it was not smart to leave the formidable defensive's just my opinion anyway.

@LoreOfTheRingsYT 4 года назад

Thank you Mr!

@SantomPh 4 года назад

You are underestimating just how outnumbered the Men of the West are. The Easterlings alone were 3 times the whole host and Trolls walked alongside Orcs and Haradrim. They were never under threat, there were even more armies inside Mordor. Tactics are not important when the enemy is as puny as that. Gandalf also tells Imrahil that Sauron will try to capture the big names and execute them like a man tries to take a sting from an fly-hence he will draw out the battle.
